Lyrics

1. The little black bull came down the meadow, Hoosen Johnny, Hoosen Johnny,
The little black bull came down the meadow, Long time ago.
Long time ago, long time ago,
The little black bull came down the meadow, Long time ago.

2. First he pawed and then he bellowed, Hoosen Johnny, Hoosen Johnny,
First he pawed and then he bellowed, Long time ago…

3. He whet his horn on a white oak sapling…

4. He shook his tail, he jarred the river…

5. He pawed the dirt in the heifer’s faces…
